This is quite odd. I mean, there's a lot of rules that we can say "are part of the game challenge" but, this is like the "gotta touch the triangle" thing of 05. It is gonna add ugliness to a fair number of robots out there. If it isn't dangling strings from their front frame rail,it is ugly sticks rising from their centers. I think this is probably aimed at discouraging teams from fielding a rolling box whose soll purpose is to get in the way of other robots, but if a tall stick satisfies this requirement...
